I shot an animal 8 times and followed its blood trail long enough to cover a small country... but game pretty and lets me stalk something that's not my neighbor so I'd say its a good trade off.

My husband played this game before I did. He got really into it, and I always wondered why he enjoyed playing it so much and for so long. I would say all the time "it's just a hunting game". Now that's a running joke for us. At the time of this review Im nearing 700 hours in this "just a hunting game". I eventually broke down and got it on a good sale one day so that I could play multiplayer with my husband and spend time with him. I figured even if I didn't like it I got it on a sale so no biggie. I ended up falling in love with it. It's not my type of game at all, yet somehow it has become my most played game on Steam. Most of the maps are absolutely stunning, its incredibly realistic, the animals are vast and beautiful. Its immersive, challenging yet relaxing. Unfortunately you have to buy most of the maps as dlcs, and I usually recommend waiting until a sale and snatching them up, they arent too terribly expensive and so worth it. If youre unsure if you like a map, or dont want to buy one yet, you can go on a multiplayer server and test it out. The stories can be fun, there is plenty of areas to explore and tons of steam achievements. Being able to play in multiple different ways is enjoyable, I can play for half an hour or 10 hours straight. It's just incredible in my opinion. The downsides are sometimes glitches happen, you have to buy a lot of stuff (guns, lodges, rtvs, dogs, etc) separately, but with sales and how much I enjoy the game, they are minor cons.

Very fun game if you like to hunt but it's completely outrageous that all the maps and cool content are sold piecemeal.

From the perspective of a non-hunter, who has never played a hunting game before, it feels weird writing such a glowing review for this game, I did not expect to like it. I don't even really know why I bought it... I got it during a Steam Sale because there was a Dog DLC, and I figured if nothing else, hey, at least maybe the dog stuff would be fun, but the whole thing is just really unexpectedly enjoyable - so much so that I've even bought more DLC packs already. I feel like I could type paragraphs upon paragraphs to explain different aspects of my enjoyment of this game, but I think it boils down to these facts: -The game has a very earnest and respectful presentation of hunting and wild animals, -It is supremely relaxing to walk around in the beautiful scenery and soundscape of chirping birds, rustling leaves, and blowing wind. -It feels at least a little edifying to gradually learn about these real animals, the tracks they leave and the sounds they make. -Should you choose to hunt, the experience feels very rewarding. I know that last one's a weird point to make in a review for a Hunting Game, but you kinda don't have to shoot a single animal in this game to unlock any locations: you could just walk around taking photos and enjoy it just as much. Personally, I am grateful that this game gives me the opportunity to gain insight into hunting without harming any real animals. I recommend getting the ATV DLC to help unlock the map if you don't want to walk everywhere, and both the Retriever and Bloodhound DLCs. The bloodhound was really helpful in tracking my first few deer before I knew what I was doing, and the Retriever seems equally helpful as I begin to try hunting waterfowl. Developers: Can I please have a Horse DLC, so I can ride a horse around instead of an ATV?
